Academics

Student success is the number one priority at Lawrence Tech. Each academic program the university offers is designed to give the student a well-rounded education, and, unlike a trade school, does not focus on just one aspect of the student's desired major. There are several core classes that each student must take, regardless of their field of study, which are designed to help prepare the student for high achievement in the workplace.

You will learn from even those teachers you did not expect to learn from.

Academics are great here for those who like small class sizes (think under 30) and who would like to actually get to know their teachers and be recognized for good work. However, be careful of which professors you pick here at the university, as two professors will teach the same class extremely differently. One example is my Introduction to Engineering class. While I had purely practical classes where we were expected to design and fabricate models, my friend had the same class with a different professor who only lectured.

The classes are going to be small but very challenging. I was able to sit and talk with a few of my future professors and what I really liked about them is they seemed to care. I understand it will be a transition from high school to college but attending a smaller school is going to make it easier.

Lawrence Tech is high-spirited and the students realize that the economy is a competitive one. Students need not be reminded that the opportunities bestowed upon them are priceless and one of a kind. Instructors are very knowledgable and resources are readily available. Students being challenged can always find support.

The LTU name alone, in itself, were some reasons for why I got job interviews.

From what I've been told, LTU is one of the best schools for architecture in the United States, and the course is extremely rigorous and dictates the rest of your schedule. Even the Dean of Architecture mentioned how he almost dropped the course several times, but is extremely glad he didn't, because it's worth it!
